I am a wife to an engineer who wishes he was a carpenter and a mother to three children. I love things like little girls in pink dresses with lots of tulle, Jesus because He loved me first, little boys in baseball caps, scripture verses that I am pretty sure were written just for me, a cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer, my satisfied soul during worship at our church, watching my husband draw out something really cool that he will soon build for me, a newly renovated room, candles, buying discounted furniture for rooms that only exist in my head, my cell phone, Aaron Shust music, Jimmy Buffett music (without the occasional bad word), and the movie You've Got Mail.

So I'm stalling. I know I am due for another house post and the three of you out there that are following this parade of home of mine will just have to wait until next week. I am placing myself on sabbatical until I can keep my head above water. There are lots of reasons for this....babies being born, homework to get caught up on with my peeps, and the fact that I would have to clean a room in order to photograph it and I can't see over the piles of laundry to find my camera. However, in the meantime, check out www.allegrofabrics.com and go find yourself some fantastic fabric to make your children some clothing. I did last week and look at this bundle of deliciousness that arrived yesterday. So in all my free time this weekend, I plan on sewing up some dresses. Yeah, who I am kidding...the sassy seamstress is so makin' me some clothes in the next few days.

I am one of your three readers ;)and I totally support your sabbatical!I can't wait for more of the house tour, but...go snuggle that beautiful nephew! Blessings to you, LanaPS I have 3 kids, too--2 girls and baby Thomas (who just turned 4, so I suppose he's no longer a baby...sadness...)

so i am SO glad you got the blue and orange, bc i LOVE it and just for some reason have not bought it. gotta love linda at allegro. :)

i will give you a break on the tour just bc i totally understand not being able to find a camer due to stuff being strewn throughout the house (well, at least it is that way at mine. things have been a bit bonkers since i opened orders...and had to close 3 days later). but....no stalling, i will keep on you like you keep on me.

ps - i know i didn't post pics of the new room, same reasons as you. there are still screwdrivers, sawdust, drills, pillows unfinished, a ladder and a pneumatic framing nailer laying around that we continue to step over, but not pick up. :)

Hey!!! I too am one of your "few" followers, especially on the house series! No pressure, but can't wait for the next installment. I am actually a little bit relieved that real life gets in the way of Superwoman sometimes too;) Love,Shell

I am a dedicated Playing Sublimely fan!!! Totally understand that life gets crazy. We are about to head off to Europe so I am in the midst of packing which is always interesting! Love the fabric! My MIL just made her first pillow case dress so I am totally geeked!! I see many pillowcase dresses in our future which is perfect for our area as long as it has a big bow to go with it!

I am thinking about starting a blog or iWeb when I get back. I would love to hear from you. I posted my email on your sweet blog about the tooth. If all calms down (right...) shoot me a note!
